Sorry but this is unworkable given our current RNG infrastructure. Draining 16 bytes for every packet is going to make /dev/random unuseable (if it wasn't already :). Perhaps just use eseqiv (it should be pretty cheap sinec it just tacks on an extra block to the encryption) for now until we have a PRNG? We'll need to extend eseqiv to support AEAD first though. Perhaps change it so that it can be called as a library by AEAD algorithms?
